    Ready To Apply? Submit Your Application Here:

Submit Application
Book Blogger/Influencer Team Terms And Conditions:

1.) By submitting an application to be a part of Katherine D. Grahams Blogger/Influencer Team, you (if selected) give Katherine D. Graham explicit permission to: 

-Mention your name, use your likeness/logos, and share your social media handles/website URL in her own marketing materials with no compensation other than the two free e-books and featured social media/newsletter/blog post mentioned in the above post.
-E-mail you e-book copies of both Oracle of Life AND Monk of Death via Bookfunnel.

2.)  By applying to be on this team, you (if selected) agree to do the following:

-READ Monk of Death (reading Oracle of Life may provide more context for you, but is not required to be on the team)

-Post AT LEAST ONE NON-SHARED social media post AND/OR blog post DURING LAUNCH WEEK to spread the word about Monk of Death (DOES NOT have to be a book review). This post should NOT mention any other authors/books (including your own), and must be a 'permanent' post on either your homepage or blog (not 'status updates' or temporary 'stories' posts). These posts may be archived AFTER February 21st, 2023.

3.) Regarding Reviews: It is against Amazon and Goodreads' Terms of Service to "require" a review "in exchange" for a book. It is also against their Terms of Service to provide payment (including via gift cards) in any way that could be considered 'purchasing' a review. As such, reviews are NOT expected NOR required, though they are always helpful and appreciated.

4.) Team members are limited to 10 in total at this time. Active team members who follow these terms & conditions will be given all perks mentioned in this post. Team members who do not a.) download both books within 5 days of the date they are sent from Bookfunnel - which Bookfunnel tracks for me - or b.) post about Monk of Death during launch week (February 14th-21st 2023) waive ALL rights to the perks above, and may be blocked from future promotional teams.

5.) Finally, this is an UNPAID team. My readers rely on genuine posts from resources who are NOT paid, to have share their genuine opinions. If you are a paid promoter/'reviewer', this team is not for you. If  you e-mail me requesting payment of any kind at any point, I will send you back these terms/conditions as a reminder. Any request for payment is a complete and utter breach of terms, and will result in losing your right to the perks listed in the post as well as a potential ban from future teams.

Oracle Of Life Street Team Applications **APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED**

12/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Oracle of Life street team applications have now closed.

Are you a book blogger or bookstagrammer?
Do you love epic fantasy books, especially dark ones?
Do you have time to read a full-length novel by January 17th?

If you answered yes to all of the above, you've come to the right place! 

If you didn't say yes to everything, but still want to support my newest series (and receive a free copy in exchange), there may be a spot on the team for you, too. 
​What Perks Do Street Team Members Get?
-A FREE advance reader copy of Oracle of Life e-book.
-A weekly live read leading up to launch week, with the author in a Street Team only group video call.
-4 Street Team exclusive contests featuring swag & other prizes
-Your first name included in the "acknowledgements" section of the book
​What Will You Be Asked To Do?
-Post at least once on your social media platforms to share about Oracle of Life, and talk about why you wanted to be on the street team.
-Participate in the Street Team contests as you are able/wish.
-Share your favorite quotes, characters, etc. on your socials/blog after the live reads. (Optional)
-Post about the release on launch day (January 17th, 2023) on all of your social media platforms and (if applicable) your blog.


AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LEAVING BOOK REVIEWS:

Reviews are NOT EXPECTED, NOR REQUIRED, to be on my street team. Honest reviews are always appreciated and helpful, but I do not mandate them and you don't have to send me proof of them.
*Street team spots are limited, typically to 10-15 team members per book. 
​
These slots will be filled based on the needs of the team, to ensure a good balance of bloggers, influencers, and readers. No minimum 'follower' or 'reader' counts are required to apply. If you're a blogger or influence, your overall social media/blog presence and engagement will speak volumes. Well-engaged accounts with 100 followers are just as important and needed as accounts with 10,000 followers.

​The Oracle of Life street team was open to international applicants as an unpaid team, and is entirely optional. Street team members can drop out at any time if life happens and things just 'come up'. Please e-mail contact@katherinedgraham.com if you have addition questions.

Check Out What I Read For Reedsy Discovery in November 2022

Check out what I read for Reedsy Discovery in November 2022!

I found a five-star and a four-star read this month, each from amazing fantasy authors:
Picture
The Dominion: Destiny by Chris Cloake
Epic Fantasy
4-Star "Loved It"

With the sacrifice of the person he loves most being the only way to save his people in an insurmountable war, Rupert challenges fate...

Rupert is facing impossible odds.

Gaticus, his arch nemesis and a foe who will only be satisfied with the extinction of humanity across the globe, holds the high ground in every way. Only one goal supersedes this villain's desire for world domination: Rupert's sister. And Rupert is not about to let his sister die if there is another living being with breath to protect her.

In a heart-wrenching, breath-stealing fashion of utter darkness along the lines of a Helm's Deep moment from Lord of the Rings, the devastating realities of war, loss, and fragile, unpromised recoveries, The Dominion: Destiny is a tale that pulls you in right away and doesn't let you go...

Picture
The First Assignment by Billy Kramer
YA Dark Fantasy
​5-Star "Must Read"

When Shawn awakens from a mysterious death as a reaper, can he accept his new role as required? Or will he die again to save a mortal soul?

Shawn doesn't know how he died, but he knows he can die again. That is, unless he accepts the role of 'Reaper', and takes others' souls himself.

Swept up into an undead academy of twisted secrets, ancient traditions, and conflicting morals, Shawn only wants to survive his second (and final) life. The rules for his contract are simple. Do the job. Don't interact with living humans. Don't be late. Easy, right?
​
Until a living girl who shouldn't be able to see him suddenly can exactly that--and not just Shawn, she can see ALL the reapers. Facing someone who sees and understands their plight, Shawn must decide whether to follow his duty, or follow his gut... (Read More)
